Joe, beautiful work on the golden retrievers. The spot in their mussel line to the forehead, the angle of the ears and the rolled skin over the collar makes them clearly goldens without any color work! That is a wonderful example of how a carving, when done in proportion and dimension to the subject, does not need color to define the subject.

Very nice work on the gods and goddesses!

Welcome to the forum, Joe. Really nice work. You need not fear the crowd with the quality of your work. Or even with your worst pieces. We are sharing something we love to do. Your detail is great. Well controlled lines.

Beautiful work on both pieces. The classic Greek figures really jump out, great detail. Well done.

Joe ,

Personally , I think your a great addition to the board. A teacher , a carver , an instructor. Your work is outstanding and very impressive background. Just warn me when your hands get tired, from answering all the questions that will come your way .

Ash

Very nice work! thanks for sharing. I like your carving from 79 as well. Teaching wages are better now than then, but I am not planning any trips to Tahiti.

God Bless,
